Article Synopsis
  • Eukaryotic cells make many important proteins that get moved into a special area called the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to be folded properly.
  • A special helper protein called FKBP11 works in the ER to help these proteins fold correctly, especially those that are secreted or are part of the cell membrane.
  • When FKBP11 is missing or less active, some proteins don’t stay stable and could cause problems in the cell.

The development of breast cancer has been mainly reported in women who have reached the post-menopausal stage; therefore, it is the primary factor responsible for death amongst postmenopausal women. However, if treated on time it has shown a survival rate of 20 years in about two-thirds of women. Cases of breast cancer have also been reported in younger women and the leading cause in them is their lifestyle pattern or they may be carriers of high penetrance mutated genes.

Article Synopsis
  • * Accurate diagnosis of contact dermatitis requires a comprehensive history and various testing methods, including patch testing and evaluations related to suspected allergens, to help identify the cause and facilitate effective treatment.
  • * Corticosteroids are the primary treatment option for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), which can affect both kids and adults; however, less than 10% of pediatric dermatitis patients are tested for ACD, despite its prevalence linked to common allergens like metals and fragrances. *

Since ancient times, several sorts of nanoparticles have been employed in the quickly expanding field of nanotechnology. These features include size, shape, and chemical as well as physical properties. Because of their small size and huge surface area, carbon-based nanoparticles, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide, and carbon-based quantum dots, have attracted a lot of attention in a variety of sectors, including biomedical applications.

Sudden infant death is a complex event characterized by biochemical features that are difficult to understand in general settings. Herein, we present a case report of a three-month-old infant who succumbed to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), focusing on the biochemical abnormalities identified through post-mortem analysis. The infant, previously healthy and meeting developmental milestones, was found lifeless in the crib during sleep.

In Nepal, over 1 million individuals have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. We sought to describe the frequency of nonrecovery from this infection at 6 months and associated symptoms. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 6142 women who had positive and negative PCR tests for this infection 6 months previously at 3 institutions in Kathmandu.

The etiology of depression is the degeneration of the brain cells involved in cognitive function before the other brain cells. It is characterized by a neurological condition that causes a reduction in terms of physical, social, and cognitive impairment and has no cure presently. These nonpharmacological approaches, such as music therapy, enhance living outcomes for those dealing with dementia and also reduce behavioral incidence.

Portal vein (PV) is a large vein that collects blood from the abdominal part of gall bladder, pancreas, alimentary tract, and spleen and transports to the liver. One of the parts of the extraembryonic venous system, the vitelline veins, is where PV starts. In about five weeks of gestation, a venous plexus is formed, and variations in this plexus lead to portal variance.

A significant obstacle to avoiding chronic illnesses in people worldwide is the increasing development of obesity. They are supported by economic expansion, mechanized transportation, a rise in sedentary behavior, and a switch from a wholesome, healthy diet to processed foods and high-calorie meals, including fast food and sugary drinks. Many developed or emerging countries have seen the prevalence of obesity in their populations increase twice over.

Article Synopsis
  • * It highlights the complexity of skin aging, affected by both internal (genetic) and external (environmental) factors, with sun exposure being a major cause of skin damage connected to cancer.
  • * The study also emphasizes the importance of skin hydration and the interaction of moisture with skin structure, while noting that moisturizers, though widely used, lack comprehensive scientific understanding of their functions.

Hot extremes are anticipated to be more frequent and more intense under climate change, making the Indo-Gangetic Plain of India, with a 400 million population, vulnerable to heat stress. Recent studies suggest that irrigation has significant cooling and moistening effects over this region. While large-scale irrigation is prevalent in the Indo-Gangetic Plain during the two major cropping seasons, Kharif (Jun-Sep) and Rabi (Nov-Feb), hot extremes are reported in the pre-monsoon months (Apr-May) when irrigation activities are minimal.

Scrub typhus is an arthropod-borne fever that follows the bite of the larval form of Leptotrombidium mite carrying . It remains a serious health problem in the Asia-Pacific region. While it commonly presents as an undifferentiated fever with chills and an eschar, complications like pneumonitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and meningoencephalitis may cause scrub typhus to be fatal.

Article Synopsis
  • This text discusses a systematic review that examines how COVID-19 affects the heart and lungs through different imaging techniques like echocardiography, lung ultrasound (LUS), and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
  • The researchers searched databases like PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science for relevant studies and included a range of original studies and case series in their review.
  • The findings highlight common abnormalities found in patients with COVID-19 as observed through these imaging methods.

Article Synopsis
  • p53 is a crucial tumor suppressor protein involved in regulating various cellular processes, including cell death and DNA repair, and its interaction with AIMP2, a protein that promotes cell death, is important for cellular response to DNA damage.
  • The oncogenic variant AIMP2-DX2 competes with AIMP2 for binding to p53, hindering the pro-apoptotic functions of AIMP2 and leading to potential cancer progression.
  • Using NMR spectroscopy, researchers revealed specific structural interactions between p53 and AIMP2, identifying key amino acids involved in this binding and providing new insights into how these proteins interact.

Besides their primary role in protein synthesis, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs) are involved in several non-canonical processes such as apoptosis, inflammation and angiogenesis through their interactions with various cellular proteins. Nine of these AARSs interact with three aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase interacting multifunctional proteins (AIMPs), forming a multi-synthetase complex (MSC) in eukaryotes. Among the three AIMPs, AIMP2 is involved in controlling cell proliferation and apoptosis.
